1. Force Restart
If your iPhone X shuts off and won't turn on for no obvious reason, try force restarting it before asking "Why won't my iPhone x turn on?" Sometimes, it may look like the phone is off and refuse to turn on when it is actually stuck in some apps or the lock screen, and the quickest fix to any iPhone stuck problem is a force restart, which will force you iPhone X to restart freshly no matter what situation it's in.
The procedures of hard reboot: Press the button of volume up and release it quickly, then repeat the same action for the volume down button. Press on the lock button and hold it until the Apple logo appears. If your iPhone cannot be force restarted even though you have followed the procedures, then the power button might be broken and you have to fix it in the Apple outlet.
2: Charge the Phone
This solution targets the battery draining issues. We wouldn't doubt that everybody will notice it when their iPhone batteries are drained, but it is so only under normal circumstances. There are some scenarios that make people forget to check the battery. When the temperature is too low or too high, the battery would drain so fast that your iPhone could die suddenly even when the battery image indicates enough power. This also happens when the battery is damaged or worn out. Thus, if your iPhone X won't turn on, try charging it for at least 30 minutes and turning it on.
3: Check the Cable and Plug
This solution and the next one target at the iPhone X won't turn on or charge issue. If you can't charge your phone as we suggested in the last solution, you might want to check the cable and the plug. Though cable is widely known as a piece of fragile equipment, the plug does break sometimes, which mostly result from users using too much force when plugging the phone to the outlet. To test whether your cables and plugs are fine, try charging a functioning iPhone with them. If it won't charge, just get a new pair of cable and plug.
4: Clear the Charging Port
Your iPhone X still won't charge even when the charging accessories are totally fine? The problem may lie in the charging port. Tiny as it is, the charging port can still be blocked by dust, small objects or, in the most disgusting cases, the mixture of both. If you find that you are not able to plug the cable all the way in the charging port or that you have to jiggle the cable to charge, then the port is very likely to be blocked. To clean the port, use the toothpick to gently clean it from the left to the right. You will be astonished by the amount of dust got stuck in it.
5: Update All the Apps
After hard rebooting your iPhone, you can hurry up and update all the apps on the phone. The reason is that the iPhone X won't turn on issue might result from some app bugs, and they normally get fixed after the updates. To update your iPhone apps in the quickest way, follow the steps below.
Step 1: Go to the App Store on your iPhone X.
Step 2: Scroll down to the Updates section and enter in. You will see a list of all the apps pending for updates.
